Hi Graham,

I'm compelled to mention the philips Aurea. With the LEDs off it looks like a big white iMac. With the LEDs on it is unique. It would tick all your boxes and it is getting cheaper each time I look. take a look at the movie.

Don't worry about your old antenna, if it is working well with your old TV then give it a go with the new TV. There is no need for a new one and unless you have demonstrated reception problems.

Cheers
Paul

it's not just to chase a cursor, it does a job in presentation / video production thus is needed to be be moved around.......less hassle to setup in conference rooms the res is 1080x768px and has the wide screen format (16:9) in my case it works as a right hand side screen extension

WOW !  That's a fair sized paddock to chase the cursor on .

How high is the computer picture   the screen ?

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm wanting to ditch the old TV and move to a more computer- centred home audio/video experience. Either, simply buy a moderate size Monitor that can connect to my laptop (G4 Al. 17") and also accept AV input from Video Recorder - (for TV). Or perhaps buy a mac mini to use as dedicated audio/visual unit and connect to monitor as above. Or move into the Digital TV era, with either powerbook or new mac mini and some kind of eyeTV device?.

I assume others have recently been down these various paths and would appreciate any advice that they may have.

I'm in the geraldton area, get really good TV reception on all available channels with existing on-roof ariel - if this is relevant for digital reception


Cheers,

Graham
